Main Sessions
9:30am - Sourcing: In or Out?
Measuring the Spectrum of MediaTech Sourcing Strategies
In this session, we will measure the spectrum of MediaTech sourcing strategies, addressing questions and dilemmas pertaining to this area. What is driving insourcing at media businesses? Has it become a fundamental feature in our industry, or will we see a retreat of in-house tech investment? Although most media businesses prefer best-of-breed solutions according to IABM research, which contexts drive different sourcing strategies and why?
11:50am - A new era in IABM Broadcast and Media market intelligence
It’s never been more important to make better decisions. Remaining competitive in tough times needs good data and analysis to underpin business success. IABM and Caretta Research, two of the leading organisations in Broadcast and Media, announce an exciting new data service for IABM members.
12:10pm - Standardization: Structure or Chaos?
Exploring Interconnectivity in the Age MediaTech Digitalization
In this session, we will explore interconnectivity in the age of MediaTech digitalization. Has interoperability become more of an issue in an increasingly digital industry? Who is managing it and what role do standards have to play in attenuating this issue? Are they still a potent tool to reduce complexity or have they become something out of the sector’s control? Should MediaTech organizations search for structure or embrace chaos to remain relevant?
3:00pm - Buying: Native or Washed?
Assessing the Development of MediaTech Business Models
In this session, we will assess the development of MediaTech business models, with a particular focus on cloud operating models and new factors driving tech purchasing decisions such as sustainability. What are the economic challenges of cloud operating platforms? How can media technology suppliers develop business models in line with customers’ changing needs? How should the value of technology solutions be communicated to buyers?
5:00pm - Transformation: Evolution or Revolution?
Analyzing the Dimensions of Business Transformation in MediaTech
In this session, we will analyze the dimensions of business transformation in MediaTech. Should media businesses gradually evolve their organizations towards digital or rather take more risks, revolutionizing their approach to technology investment? What role do skills and culture at media businesses and tech suppliers play in enabling this transformation? Is one side of the industry moving at a greater speed than the other and why?

Room 1 - Digital Transformation in Newsroom
By France Télévisions/CGI
What is the key for an organization to be innovative and agile? For France Télévisions the journey has successfully begun by effectively managing the workflow of over 3,000 journalists working across over 40 newsrooms and limitless locations. In October 2019, France Télévisions embarked on a mission to find a solution for their end to end global workflow.
